Model text
Dear Course Coordinator, I am writing to apply for your six-week digital marketing course starting in October. I currently work in customer support, but I would like to develop practical marketing skills and understand online advertising better. I have some experience managing social media pages for a project, although I have never studied marketing formally. The evening schedule would suit me because I work during the day. I am especially interested in content planning, online campaigns, and basic analytics because these skills could help me move into a new role. Could you please confirm whether beginners are accepted and if students need to bring their own laptops? I would be very interested in joining the course. Kind regards, Maria Costa
